Carte Magic Heirloom Blade

Heirloom Blade is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Equipped creature gets +3/+1. Whenever equipped creature dies, you may reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card that shares a creature type with it. Put that card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Equip {1}

How it works : Heirloom Blade

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you don't reveal a creature card that shares a type with the creature that died, you'll just reveal and randomize your library.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the equipped creature has no creature type, no card can share a creature type with it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You'll reveal cards until you find one that shares at least one creature type with the creature that died. For example, if a Cat Wizard dies, you'll stop if you reveal a Human Wizard or Cat Soldier.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Compare the revealed cards to the creature as it last existed before it died, not to the creature card as it exists in its owner's graveyard, to determine which one you put into your hand.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    "Artifact" isn't a creature type.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If Heirloom Blade leaves the battlefield at the same time that the equipped creature dies, its triggered ability triggers.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
